Review: "It's a much sought-after resource for teachers wanting tried and tested, "hands on" learning activities that can be readily used or quickly modified for use. I predict these books will be equally if not more popular as busy teachers of all grades seek practical and absorbing activities for their students." "In the Global Classroom 1 and 2 give teachers and students many helpful suggestions for activities in which the students can engage...that I would certainly use in my classroom. Their inherent flexiblity offers countless possibilities for modification and adaptation, thereby meeting the particular needs of curricula, students and teachers." "...the world would be a better place if all youngsters (and adults) could experience these challenging, insightful activities... Pictures progressed impart an empowering sense of "This will work for me too." And it just might! |
